It's fine, I wasn't offended, I'm just sick of this cancerous internet nitpicking me to death. Some days I just want to permanently unplug, but meh. Enough of that, cause I have another, crazier observation!
Gohan's bang is gone in the promo picture. I'm sure I'm not the first to point this out, but I just noticed it and I don't know what to think.
In the opening he gets the bang after powering up, so they probably are going to make mystic a form and use that change so we can distinguish.
Is there a new opening? I skipped it this ep, so thanks for that.
Edit: Nevermind, you were talking about the part that was already care. I put no stock in that, since it was made before this tournament was even a twinkle in Toriyama's eye.

"Temporarily Banned" was the actual status. Those are eventually lifted... maybe.

Really? I could have sworn it said ''Banned''. Too bad we can't check back. Time to go to the Wayback Machine for possibly useful information... oh no, wait, that's too much of a hassle to go through.

It did. For like 3 months.
I think I had my "Temporarily Banned" title like 12 days after.

Anyone else kinda hoping they reveal Universe 6 Supreme Kai's name? He's the only unnamed one currently.

Only for the sake of having one. I dislike his design, so I wouldn't really care either way. Also, the rest of Universe 7's Kaiōshin lack names as well; only East was deemed with one, Shin.

Goku and Vegeta had either two or three fights in the manga: in the Saiyan arc, in the Buu arc, and, if you count the time Ginyu stole Goku's body, in the Namek arc. Vegeta won all of them.

He's probably referring to the Bardock special. Zarbon was the one who first recommended destroying Planet Vegeta because the saiyans were rapidly growing in strength.
It was actually Beerus disguised as Zarbon #StayWoke

Oh, and he can survive in the vacuum of space. All this stuff is just presented as the way Freeza is, without even an attempt at rationalizing it, yet the tone dictates we're supposed to take all this silly grasping at straws as thrilling danger. So I guess I don't really take the power inflation in the Boo arc seriously, but I don't take the power inflation in earlier arcs seriously either, so there's no net loss of seriousness. I think a silly story presented as serious is harder to accept than a silly story presented as silly.

I don't know man, I definitely wouldn't consider the boo arc one a win. The fight was over. Both "agreed" to work together against boo. Vegeta knocking out goku wasn't really a fight unless you consider vegeta knocking out goten and trunks a fight too.

I made a bet with Alee9977 that Vegeta won't be beaten quickly by an opponent. If I lose, I switch my avatar to Vegeta getting beat by hit. If I win, he switches it to Vegeta holding Black by his hair. This will last a month.

Of course I do. Winning a fight through a dirty trick is still winning.

I'd consider it a win for Vegeta too.
Amazing that Goku even fell for that trick considering he knows what Vegeta is like.

Well, I guess Goku has a victory if you count beating Bebi-Vegeta in GT.

I hate how the younger generation in DragonBall are treated nowadays.The older generation keeps treating them like fighting is too dangerous for them which is just bizarre to me when you consider kid Goku and Gohan.

Who's doing this? No one here has any problems with fighting. I find it them to be the more boring parts of the show, but that's it. I don't think what you're saying actually happens.

I think you misunderstood. The older characters keep acting like fighting is too dangerous for Goten, kid trunks, and pan yet they were all fine when kid Goku or kid Gohan fought. That's what I'm saying.

Derp, I totally misread. Although I don't think the problem you mentioned is a thing, either.

In the boo arc, not so much. In Super and GT, yes! How many times did they restrict pan? She had to sneak on the ship while 5 year old Gohan went to Namek. In the ROF arc gohan wouldn't let Goten and Trunks help him even though they should be around the same level. In the Future trunks arc, they wouldn't let Goten and Trunks help either. Then they'res this instance where they tried to stop Goten from coming in the last episode.

Goku was 12 when we first meet him, Gohan was forced into fighting and he was also battle tested by the time he traveled to Namek. Pan's upbringing was very different. It was more sheltered. I can't speak to the others.
